Week 24: It’s not been Sergio Ramos’s week on the disciplinary front! This Sunday he was sent off for the 25 th time in his Real Madrid career (more than double anybody else) after picking up two bookings against Girona, and a few days earlier he was caught forcing a yellow card in the Champions League in order to skip the second leg and be clean for the next round, which goes against UEFA’s fair play rules. For that he is expected to be given an extra one match ban, at least (Valencia’s Kondogbia suffered the same fate this week). Ramos was one of three players sent off this weekend, Boudebouz getting his marching orders on his debut for Celta after a hard tackle on Levante’s Borja Mayoral, and Espanyol’s Javi López taking the long walk for a second bookable offence. All will be joined on the sidelines next weekend together with Theo and Willian José (both Real Sociedad), and Miramón (Huesca), who all picked up their fifth bookings of the season.

Week 25: Two players sent off in the same match for second bookable offences, Real Madrid’s Nacho, and Levante’s Rubén Rochina (although he was already on the bench when he was shown his second). They get one match bans, as do Antunes (Getafe), Ximo Navarro (Alavés), En-Nesyri (Leganés) and Cáseres (Villarreal), who were all booked for the fifth time this weekend. (26.02.19)
